Johnny, to answer your question, I've concluded at the age of 70 that most of life is dumb chance. So if you encounter something that's true, real, deep, and rich in texture, don't walk away from it. I've also concluded that we should trust our intuition and not our intellects. To me, cool reason is just about useless in this crazy world.

As a millenialist, I am here to say that the era of harmony and peace will soon be upon us. This harmony and peace will be global. It will also be interpersonal and, especially in the United States, inter-gender. Treachery, betrayal, material greed, motivation by low desires, cat-scratch ambition, efforts to have it both ways and their attendant hypocrisies, self-absorption, game-playing, cheating, greed, and lies will soon be things of the past. Therefore, Jean Paul, you will soon be out of business.

I cook, I clean house, I love children, I love classical music (absent from the jukebox here), and I respect women as equals and as partners. Now,, who wants to make love?

To Lu -- First, you flatter yourself big-time. Second, you got me confused with some nice guy. Third, I could out-mean you while asleep. You got your opinions, baby, and I got mine -- the difference being, mine are extra high-quality. Fourth, you missed what Jean Paul was telling HD about how a broad gets elaborate, gets very elaborate, while trying to justify doing whatever she wants to do. And finally, all I see from you is a buncha posturing about the sub-zero nature of your own heart. Compared to my sub-zero, you're the tropics.

You're a sap for all these attack-lines about control and insecurity etc. the Chiquitas deliver to put the boys on the defensive. And so you're the kind of chump who gets played constantly in la guerre. You don't know that most women will say anything, no matter how crazy it is. And they'll get elaborate and go Byzantine, before your very eyes, if they think it might help them justify doing whatever they want to do. They're great entertainment when they're in this mode.

Jean Paul might be good for a couple of other things, Andreadoria.

The Heat You Pack? Frisk me, broads.

Comments:
Andreadoria, Chiquita, broad, thong, skirt, what you're good for is making pies. I hear you make some lip-smackin' pies. And I'm a pie man, not a cake man -- so I might give you some attention in the distant future.

Comments:
There's not enough music. What your joint needs, Jean Paul, is more music and less story. It's all you're good for.

The Heat You Pack? I got looks that kill

Comments:
Rico: You the rat prince. You the prince of low-rides, loud/ugly bass and back-alley hoods with colors. You the crack pipe prince, the prince of the jailbait pimps. I'm the King, Rico. I'm the King of poets and lovers.

Comments:
To Alex -- It's been three days and you're starting to worry? Is this something you're used to? Whatta sap. To The Kid -- You're in the right place. Do they got mandolins and balconies down there for sensitive poets and loverboys like you? Or is it some other low-rent country I'm thinkin' of? Guns, women, money -- I'm laughing. You're dangerous in some burro stall maybe. Me, I'm dangerous in The City. I'm the Prince of this city.

The Heat You Pack? No heat

Wanda, I've tried everything else so I'll try this Tough Talk . . . where are you? Where have you been? It's been three days and I'm beginning to worry. One more day and I'm going to Missing Persons.

Silky Sister, why don't you come over some afternoon for coffee? Let's make it lunch. I'm in Brooklyn Heights . . . spectacular view of Manhattan. I'll make a hearty soup. We can stretch out. Husband works in the city until 7 or 8 every night.

And more about Jefferson. Get on with the Jefferson story, Jean Paul. I like this one.

Velocevita (The Fast Life} - 12/10/98 18:14:53

Comments:
Folks, this George Jackson is THE MAN! He knows how to LIVE! We're doin' it all over Europe. And now Africa. Lemmee tell ya, girlfriends -- they loved me in Paris and Berlin. They loved me in Gstaad, too. They think I'm Josephine Baker over here. The men are CRAZY 'bout me! And George is so cool about it all. I deserve this. The kids are doin' fine. I stay in touch. Jefferson was gettin' too serious. Too much business, not enough sweetboy anymore. And I confess now -- my name used to be Velma.

The Heat You Pack? Frisk me, broads

Comments:
TO LA RAGAZZA -- I do things at my own pace and in my own way, so back off. TO HEP KITTEN JAZZ CHICK -- Look, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is kewl. So's Brian Setzer. But the Cherry Poppin' Daddies only have two songs worthy of my jukebox -- "Zoot Suit Riot" and "Strut." That's it. And Chill Pill does "Zoot Suit Riot" better than they do. So I'll give these dudes a little space on my jukebox. But Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman are the Kings of Swing. And Cab Calloway is the King of Jive. Got that?

The Heat You Pack? You know where it is

Comments:
Johnny, you shouldn't be messing around with a girl like Purr. Send her back to the minors...let her develop her game. And what about the Root Doctor? More about him. And what about Ava Gardner? Let's get on with the story, Jack.

Purr, haven't you learned from experience about men like Johnny? Is he your first hood?

Jean Paul...broads?...watch yourself...don't be grouping me with all your generic broads.

Comments:
You broads and johnsons fight it out in here for now. Suddenly I have action on three fronts. And another thing -- imagination is funny.

Floyd Z - 12/08/98 18:10:49
The Heat You Pack? Lotsa heat

Comments:
Jean Paul, I am Mr. Annihilator, the coolest trigger man north of the Dry Tortugas -- and you never seen anything like me. There's something we need to talk about, Jean Paul, and this conversation will occur real soon ..... daddy. Real soon.

The Heat You Pack? Swiped it from your nightstand

Comments:
Jentilly ... ah, the classic style vs. substance issue. we know Jean Paul has style, but ... maybe this Rico Suave will be less likely to live like a tomcat. maybe i'll check him out. ps: i'm bettin' you drive a Range Rover ... expensive good looks with no cargo space.

RicoSuave - 12/07/98 20:18:21

Comments:
Jentilly, you're obviously some burb wife driving around in a Grand Cherokee who's never seen presence d'homme. I got it rite here, baby. And the kid is just a poseur. I'm for real.

Comments:
For El Kiddo -- We're sure you're dangerous, Kid, nobody doubts that; and we prefer you to the coarse and unrefined Rico Suave, the loud muffler of this place. But Jean Paul is also dangerous, very dangerous, and he has this . . . elan, this je ne sais quoi, this dur charm, cette attitude, a certain presence d'homme that you have yet to develop.

The Heat You Pack? The heat of love

Comments:
rico suave doesn't want me in town because I get all the chicks. the greaser's threatened by me. I'm a dangerous man, chicks. I'm a poet and a lover, too.

TO THE KID -- You stay down there in that Paris of border towns, Los Robles. You got that?

What is this, some kind of J. Peterman catalogue for hoodlums?

Comments:
Anybody seen HepCatJiveBopper? I got those bop-bop be-bop re-bop sensations tonight. And Jean Paul, if you got Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and Brian Setzer on the jukebox, why don't you have Cherry Poppin' Daddies?

Jefferson and I are having some trouble. I've been traveling with George Jackson and we're in Gstaad now, skiing and shopping. Next week we're off to Cairo and the Shepheards Hotel via Lufthansa.

Comments:
What is the new owner of Film Noir Johnny's saying about state and federal agencies? Agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms? Do you have a problem with federal agencies, Jean Paul?

Jean Paul Noir -- Trouble in Los Robles. Zita's dead. Blown up in a black Caddy with some bigwig. Got some fat cop on my trail. Send money, guns, and women -- in reverse order. Gracias.

Hit this to Talk Tough Yourself or shoot back to Johnny's, Part Three or back to the previous Tough Talk (2) or up to the next buncha Tough Talk (4.1) or take the 'A' Train back to Part Eight
